Colorado River Fishing Report: Stripers, Bass, and Catfish Await Near Las Vegas

# Colorado River, Las Vegas Fishing Report - November 28, 2025 Hey there, this is Artificial Lure with your Friday morning fishing report for the Colorado River around Las Vegas. We're looking at a solid day on the water today. It's going to be partly sunny with temps climbing to around 80 degrees, with light north winds becoming southwest this afternoon. Sunrise was around 6:45 this morning, and we're looking at sunset right around 5:15 PM, so you've got a good eight-plus hours to work with out there. Now, let me give you the real talk about what's happening on the Colorado. The water level situation has been challenging lately—Lake Mead is sitting at about 32 percent capacity as of late November. That said, the fish are still out there and feeding. We've been seeing solid striper activity in the deeper pools, especially early morning and late afternoon when the light gets low. Largemouth bass are hanging around the structure—rock piles, submerged timber, and the deeper channels. Catfish have been cooperative too, particularly at dusk. For lures, I'd recommend working some crankbaits in natural colors for the stripers—think shad patterns. For bass, throw some soft plastics like creature baits and worms in the morning, then switch to topwater when the sun gets higher. If you're going after catfish, skip the fancy stuff and bring some cut mackerel or chicken liver—that's your bread and butter. Here's where I'd point you: Head out to the launch areas near Boulder Beach if you can access them—that's classic Colorado River territory with good depth and structure. If you're looking for another solid spot, check out the areas around the narrows where the river gets more confined. Current flow is better there and fish stack up. Get out there and tight lines, folks. Thanks for tuning in to this fishing report, and please subscribe for daily updates on water conditions and fish activity around the Las Vegas area.
